  • Cooper Square Committee Chrono
    Cooper Square Committee Chrono A listing of Cooper Square events and activities - including victories and defeats - from March 1959 through March 2005. Prepared by: Walter Thabit, March, 2005 Planners Network Cooper Square Committee Municipal Art Society 61 East 4thStreet Planning Center New York, NY 10003 212 228-8210 COOPER SQUARE CHRONOLOGY The Cooper Square Chronology was initiated by Thelma Burdick in March, 1959, and recorded significant events up to March, 1968. For years, it was the bible of the organization, allowing us to keep the important dates straight. Unfortunately, it has never been updated till now, and it might still be waiting to happen if there hadn't been a renewed interest in the Cooper Square story. Writers and advocate planners have interviewed old timers like myself and Frances Goldin, and after hearing of an interesting incident, then ask, "And what year was that?" Too often I didn't have a clue. So I finally decided to bring the chronology up-to-date. It has been hard work, but worth every minute. I'm not the only contributor to a chronology of events. Marci Reaven, doing a PhD. dissertation on Cooper Square has also put one together for her personal use, and I have used it to fill out some uncertain items as well as a few whose significance I missed. Also, Valerio Orselli, Cooper Square's Director for over 20 years prepared a specialized chronology of 40 membership meetings held around the issue of the rehabilitation program, the Mutual Housing Association, and the revised Cooper Square Plan. It is included here, starting in November, 1984, running through April, 1993.

  • Historic Lower Manhattan
    Historic Lower Manhattan To many people Lower Manhattan means financial district, where the large buildings are designed to facilitate the exchange of money. The buildings, streets and open spaces, however, recall events that gave birth to a nation and have helped shape the destiny of western civilization. Places such as St. Paul's Chapel and Federal Hall National Memorial exemplify a number of sites which have been awarded special status by the Federal Government. The sites appearing in this guide are included in the following programs which have given them public recognition and helped to assure their survival. National Park Service Since its inauguration in 1916, the National Park Service has been dedicated to the preservation and management of our country's unique national, historical and recreational areas. The first national park in the world—Yellowstone—has been followed by the addition of over 300 sites in the 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. National Park areas near and in Manhattan are: Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace National Historic Site, Fire Island National Seashore, Gateway National Recreation Area, Sagamore Hill National Historic Site, Hamilton Grange National Memorial, and General Grant National Memorial. National Historic Landmarks National Park Service historians study and evaluate historic properties throughout the country. Acting upon their findings the Secretary of the Interior may declare the properties eligible for designation as National National Parks are staffed by Park Rangers who can provide information As the Nation's principal conservation agency, the Department of the Historic Landmarks. The owner of such a property is offered a certif­ to facilitate your visit to Lower Manhattan.

Before their arrival, downtown was part of a vast forest, a lush hunting ground for Native Americans that was inhabited by mountain lions, bobcats, beavers, white-tailed deer, and wild turkeys. Hunters followed the Wiechquaekeck Trail, a path through the center that today is more often referred to as Broadway. This section of the city still centers on commerce, much as Nieuw Amsterdam did. Wall Street is America’s strongest symbol of money and power; bulls and bears have replaced the wild beasts of the forest, and conservatively attired lawyers, stockbrokers, bankers, and businesspeople have supplanted the Native Americans and Dutch who once traded otter skins and beaver pelts on these very streets. A highlight of this tour is the Financial District’s architec- ture, in which the neighborhood’s modern edifices and grand historical structures are dramatically juxtaposed: Colonial, 18th-century Georgian/Federal, and 19th-century neoclassical buildings stand in the shadow of colossal modern skyscrapers.

  • The Direct Action Politics of US Punk Collectives
    DIY Democracy 23 DIY Democracy: The Direct Action Politics of U.S. Punk Collectives Dawson Barrett Somewhere between the distanced slogans and abstract calls to arms, we . discovered through Gilman a way to give our politics some application in our actual lives. Mike K., 924 Gilman Street One of the ideas behind ABC is breaking down the barriers between bands and people and making everyone equal. There is no Us and Them. Chris Boarts-Larson, ABC No Rio Kurt Cobain once told an interviewer, “punk rock should mean freedom.”1 The Nirvana singer was arguing that punk, as an idea, had the potential to tran- scend the boundaries of any particular sound or style, allowing musicians an enormous degree of artistic autonomy. But while punk music has often served as a platform for creative expression and symbolic protest, its libratory potential stems from a more fundamental source. Punk, at its core, is a form of direct action. Instead of petitioning the powerful for inclusion, the punk movement has built its own elaborate network of counter-institutions, including music venues, media, record labels, and distributors. These structures have operated most notably as cultural and economic alternatives to the corporate entertainment industry, and, as such, they should also be understood as sites of resistance to the privatizing 0026-3079/2013/5202-023$2.50/0 American Studies, 52:2 (2013): 23-42 23 24 Dawson Barrett agenda of neo-liberalism. For although certain elements of punk have occasion- ally proven marketable on a large scale, the movement itself has been an intense thirty-year struggle to maintain autonomous cultural spaces.2 When punk emerged in the mid-1970s, it quickly became a subject of in- terest to activists and scholars who saw in it the potential seeds of a new social movement.

  • BLOOMBERG BUSINESS February 16, 2016 Citadel Leases Anchor Space at New Tower on NYC's Park Avenue
    February 16, 2016 http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-02-16/citadel-leases-anchor-space-at-new-tower-on-nyc-s-park- avenue Citadel Leases Anchor Space at New Tower on NYC's Park Avenue by David M Levitt Hedge fund firm Citadel LLC signed a lease to anchor a new skyscraper that’s under construction on Manhattan’s Park Avenue, the first new office building to be built on the pricey corridor in almost four decades. The deal, reached late last week, entitles the $25 billion firm founded by Kenneth Griffin to a little more than 200,000 square feet (18,600 square meters) of office space at 425 Park Ave., said David Levinson, chairman of L&L Holding Co., the developer of the 670,000-square-foot tower. The lease includes the penthouse floor, which will have 38-foot (12-meter) glass ceilings and views of Central Park. Citadel also will occupy the two floors below the penthouse and space in the center of the Norman Foster-designed skyscraper, Levinson said. It’s a “great relief” to have “a complete, closed transaction” with Citadel, given the current turmoil in the stock market, Levinson said in a phone interview. “For a financial company as good as they are, to make a deal like this with all the turbulence in the world, is a very strong statement for New York City, and their view of the world economically.” The lease helps validate L&L’s decision to start work on the new tower -- on the east side of Park Avenue between 55th and 56th streets – before having any tenant commitments, a process known as building “on spec” and that’s regarded as risky in the real estate industry.
